Merry Christmas from the Lake Gogebic Area! Santa did not bring us snow for Christmas morning, but we are forecast to start getting hit with snow by the end of the weekend! Temps today and tomorrow are going to be above freezing during the day – but drop down in the evening with 10+” of snow forecasted by the New Year!
Bergland groomers reported that they will be running on a lighter grooming schedule for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day so everyone can enjoy time with family and friends.
This is the Gogebic Area Grooming report as of December 23rd:
The crew got a late-afternoon start when temperatures were around 28°, which helped tremendously. By mid-evening, temperatures dropped into the 19°–21° range and trails began setting up nicely.
All things considered—and given what it took to get these trails opened—we’re in pretty good shape.
Thank you all for the continued support, and we wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!
We are going to enjoy our Christmas and get ready to rock into the New Year – where you can celebrate New Years twice in two time zones on Lake Gogebic! Fireworks will be on the North Shore at AJ’s in the Eastern Time Zone!

🟦 “The Oh Boy” Snow & Trail Update 🟦
Hello from the North Shore of Lake Gogebic, where we’re staring down an “oh boy!” kind of forecast — nearly 19 inches of snow expected over the Thanksgiving weekend!
That’s fantastic news with trails opening December 1st. While we don’t recommend riding next week, we’re really encouraged by the cold temps setting in: highs in the low 20s, lows in the teens, and even some single digits early next week. By the end of the week, highs stay in the teens — perfect for building a solid base.
Our grooming clubs are gearing up and will be ready to go when the time is right. Now’s the moment to get those machines ready, pack the trailer, and finish up your Christmas shopping.
We’ll be ready and waiting to welcome everyone back — and we’ll keep you updated throughout the season. “Oh Boy, Oh Boy”
From all of us at AJ’s Lodge & Oven, we wish you and your families a very Happy Thanksgiving!
Think cold and pray for snow! ❄️

Currently blizzard warnings in effect and 1-3” of snow forecasted
for today with additional snow in the forecast for Thursday and Saturday. Single digits at night and high teens/low
20’s during the day throughout the next few days with sub-zero temperatures
coming in on by the end of the weekend and through the beginning of next
week. Get ready for some cold
weather.
Hats off to our Marenisco crews as they’ve been pitching in
big time to help out with the Gogebic Area Trails. The cold weather is really helping get things
and both trails were left smooth and solid before the snow predicted for this
week and weekend!
Lot of traffic over the past weekend – don’t expect much
different for next weekend.
·
Trail 1 and Trail 8: Marenisco area crews out tonight grooming
Trail 1 north from Marenisco to Trail 8.
·
1s, to Marenisco and 8w to Wakefield were
groomed
·
Trail 8e to Ewen was groomed and is improving
but still a heavily traveled trail and get’s bad by afternoon.
·
13n was attempted, long story short, machine
spun out on the hills and had to turn around.
·
102 was also covered, but without a drag. Main
purpose was to knock down moguls and flatten berms.
·
Trail 8 West:
has been groomed and reported in good condition.
·
Trail 100 has been completely closed due to
logging. We have placed signs posting
its closure and the entrance is bermed on Trail 1. At this point there is no open trail
connecting Trail 1 to the south end of Lake Gogebic.
This Saturday is International Snowmobile Day – so stop out
at the Bergland Township Pavilion at 11 a.m. for live music, food and fun!
